Make the sausage: In a bowl, mix together all of the sausage ingredients. Don't skip this step, trust me. I know it's tempting to throw the turkey in your pan to brown and add the seasonings on top, but I've tried it and it just doesn't work. If you want this to taste like sausage, ya need to mix it like a meatloaf :-) In a large pan, cook and crumble your sausage. Set aside to cool. Breakfast Casserole: Spray a 9X13 baking dish with olive oil or coconut oil cooking spray. In your dish, layer the potatoes, then your cooled sausage, the veggies, and last the shredded cheese. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, salt and pepper. Pour evenly over your casserole dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The Next Day: Do not preheat your oven. Uncover your casserole and place it in your oven, then heat your oven to 350 degrees, baking for 1 hour or until the center has set (stick a fork in, if it looks really wet, check it again in another five minutes until it isn't). Once, fully looked, pull it out of the oven and cut into 9 rectangles. Serve with your favorite hot sauce if desired!
